What are the hazards of gestational diabetes in pregnant women?

Patient's question:

My wife has been pregnant for 4 months, but she has developed gestational diabetes. I'm a bit worried, so I wanted to ask you, Doctor, what are the dangers of gestational diabetes for pregnant women?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if diabetes is diagnosed, the pregnant woman's appetite is very good, her body will become very obese, and the child may also become a macrosomic baby. The amniotic fluid will continue to increase, leading to dystocia again during delivery due to the baby's size. Therefore, if a pregnant woman develops diabetes, active treatment is essential. The main treatment methods are dietary management and medication.
